In this paper I postulate that the original function of the srāošāuuarəza- is the recitation of the formula sraōšō astu (srōš barišnīh), and provide an analysis of the function of this formula in the Long Liturgy. It has an Indo-Iranian background and plays an important role in the Long Liturgy. Because of the dependence of previous editions on the exegetical manuscripts, the formula has never been recorded in the different variations it displays in the liturgy. Some instances have never been edited at all, and others only partially, leading to an incorrect understanding of several texts included in this formula. Furthermore, I present some thoughts about the materials, problems, and methods for the study of the Avestan priestly college and its evolution.

sraōšāuuarəza-priest 和 srōš-barišnīh 在大长礼仪中的使用

在本文中，我假设srāošāuuarəza- 是公式的背诵sraōšō astu (srōš barišnīh),并分析此公式在长礼仪中的作用。它具有印度-伊朗背景，在长期礼仪中发挥着重要作用。由于以前的版本依赖于解经手稿，这个公式从未被记录在它在礼仪中所展示的不同变体中。有些事例根本没有被编辑过，而其他事例只是部分编辑过，导致对这个公式中包含的几个文本的理解不正确。此外，我提出了一些关于阿维斯坦祭司学院及其演变的材料、问题和方法的思考。
